Tuesday, August 17th - XO is back for business! While there are still a few things to tidy up around the site, we welcome you to roleplay and hang out as usual. We'll get our housekeeping done soon, but in the meanwhile, stop in and stay a while!

In Character Season/Weather
Wednesday, August 18th - There is a pack meeting thread up for Vereoris! If your wolf is a member of this pack, be sure to post!

Tuesday, August 17th - Take a look at the pack histories to get a feel for what's happened in the two year skip the site has experienced. If you have any questions about the time skip, feel free to ask an admin.

Weather: It is mid-summer and the temperatures are very high. Thunderstorms are frequent, sometimes even flooding the areas of lower elevation.

Joining Tutorial
    Before you go ahead and make your account, it would be wise to read the following tutorial.

    REMEMBER! XO is slightly different from other rpg sites in the respect that our profile fields are put in your member info on your profile. We do not store profiles in a section of the forum like other sites.

    It would be preferred if you actually have your character's application/profile done before you sign up, but it's still fine if you don't, or if you wish to ask for ideas/get opinions.
     
    Remember that you need to sign up with your wolf's name. First name only, preferably. That is, whatever the wolf goes by. If your character's name is say Bob Billy Genericlastname, and he goes by Billy, make his account Billy.
     
    Before you fill out the profile, make sure you read the following guide. 

      Name  This is your character's full name; First and last, and middle if they have one.

      Gender Self explanitory? Male or female, please. Not masculine, feminine, etc. Just male or female.

      Age Go by months and years please. .

      Parents It would be preferred if you did fill this out. If your character was abandoned and adopted, don't say 'unknown'. At the very least, offer the adoptive parent/s.

      Siblings This can be just the littermates, or half-siblings if you feel up for it. At the very least, you need to give the littermates.

      Mate Leave blank if there's none. Or write n/a, whatever floats your boat.

      Pups Same as mate.

      Physical Appearance This needs to be fairly lengthy. If you need help thinking of how to describe your character, think about the following things.

      - Build: Is your character heavily built, or is he or she petite?

      - Height: Does your character stand tall? How much of his or her height comes from her legs?

      - Fur texture: Does your wolf have longish, soft (or matted!) fur, or is it short and coarse (this does depend on season though).

      - Fur coloration: Describe the patterns and colors of your wolf's fur. Unless your wolf is a mutant, they will have a realistic fur color/pattern. Notice: Currently solid colored (black and white) wolves are not being accepted.

      - Masculinity/femininity: Does your wolf look heavily like one gender/is he or she masculine or feminine?

      - Face/muzzle/head: Is the muzzle long and tapered, or short and blocky? Are the ears in proportion to the head?

      - Eyes: What color are they? Are they large or small? NOTE! Unnatural eye colors, mutants excepted, are not allowed. You can only have a mutant eye color if you play a mutant. Blue as an eye color is not accepted unless your character is a wolf/dog hybrid!

      These things don't need to all be included, but can be included if you need help with length. 

      Personality  Personality may be a bit difficult. It needs to be fairly lengthy, but again, if you're having trouble with length, you can refer to the following list

      - How well does your character deal with others? Overly antisocial wolves are a bit of a cliche, but whatever floats your boat.

      - Does he or she have any particular likes or dislikes?

      - ... and so on.

      History Histories really should start at the START, or earlier if you feel that a backstory is necessary. Try not to include too much unnecessary information before your character's birth, however.
       
      If you're having trouble with making up a history, think about things like your character's relation with his/her siblings, or the rest of the pack, or the parents. Try to be creative, pack massacres are kind of common by this point. As is human interference.
       
      If your character is an adult, you have at least two years of happenings that could have happened, so it shouldn't be that hard to use your imagination.
       
      If your character is a pup, histories obviously don't need to be extremely long. Especially if it's a pup adopted from a litter on the site. In that case, they don't need to really have histories beyond maybe, the circumstances of their birth/conception (as in, was it consensual, etc.)
